Welcome Michael Andolini! wink

I have been trying to find the correct spelling of the quote you refer to in Italian, but without success. If I am not mistaken I think Vito is merely saying the same thing in Italian, "You're father loves you very much."

If you listen carefully to the guy who's playing an arch-top guitar and singing in that scene, you'll recognize his voice: it belongs to the guy who starred in the Neapolitan soap opera, "Senza Mamma," that Vito and Genco attended.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

actually, if he were to use "amare," he would say "Michele, tuo padre ti ama (molto)" Voi is plural, and you don't need to put the infinitive in front of possessive pronouns.

anyways though, what he actually says is, "Michael, tuo padre ti vuole ben assai, ben assai"

"volere qualcuno bene" is a way of expressing love, and ben assai simply means "a lot" and is often used with "ti voglio bene" or "ti voglio ben assai"


"Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your daughter... 's wedding... on the day of your daughter's wedding. And I hope their first child be a masculine child. I pledge my ever-ending loyalty."

"Il vostro padre li ama molto" would be the altavista.com translation. As has been mentioned on this site before over the years, the dialog spoken during the GFII flashbacks is very authentic, dilectual Sicilian. It's hard to get authentic translations on the web. Asking on this Board is a great way to learn what's spoken in the movies. orange


"The Godfather was a man to whom everybody came for help and never were they disappointed. He made no empty promises, nor the craven excuse that his hands were tied by more powerful forces in the world than himself. It was not necessary that he be your friend, it was not even important that you had no means with which to repay him. Only one thing was required. That you, yourself, proclaim your friendship. And then, no matter how poor or powerless the supplicant, the Godfather would take that person's troubles to his heart. He would let nothing stand in the way to a solution of that person's woe. His reward? Friendship, the respectful title 'Don' and sometimes the more affectionate salutation of 'Godfather.' Perhaps, to show respect only, never for profit, some humble gift - a gallon or homemade wine or a basket of fresh baked goods on a holiday. It was understood to proclaim that you were in his debt and that he had the right to call upon you at any time to redeem the debt by some small service." -- Mario Puzo, The Godfather (1969).

Io Non Bib has it right.

Remember that Sicilian is a very different language from mainland Italian. Some Board members that try to translate the films' Sicilian do so word for word. It's not that way with languages genrally. Many foreign words are grouped idiomatically meaning that they have developed over a long time to represent a certain meaning and cannot be translated into English word for word very easily.
